Yellowhead Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:YMI) is pleased to report that an Updated Project Description for the Harper Creek copper-gold-silver project has been filed with British Columbia's Environmental Assessment Office (EAO). The document is available on the EAO website at: [ http://a100.gov.bc.ca/appsdata/epic/documents/p333/1295903690301_5aa204813a3a28bbaad434d7890ebbdd62ee07f028154720b0c5f52e258d5011.pdf ] and on the Company's website at: [ http://www.yellowheadmining.com/s/Reports.asp ].
The Project is currently in the Pre-Application Phase of the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Process. To date the EAO has issued a Section 10 order confirming that the proposed project is reviewable as well as a Section 11 order specifying the scope, procedures, and methods by which a review must be conducted. The YMI team is currently working with provincial and federal regulators (Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and the Major Projects Management Office) to develop Application Information Requirements (AIR) for the Project which is the next step in the Environmental Assessment (EA) process. This document will outline the specific information that must be included in the application for an EA certificate.
Baseline work has been ongoing on site since the summer of 2007 and includes the following areas; meteorology (climate station; snow survey); surface water quality; hydrology (flow monitoring); wildlife surveys including winter tracking survey, mammals, breeding bird surveys, raptor surveys, harlequin duck survey, and amphibian surveys; vegetation surveys including rare plants; fish and fish habitat, including evaluation of benthic invertebrates.
The environmental assessment studies have been performed for YMI by Dillon Consulting Limited under the supervision of one of their Partners, Richard Pope.
